If you've gotten this far, you're probably already familiar with my dual obsessions -- great kids media and distance running. Seldom, however, do I get a chance to combine them, so imagine how thrilled I was when Greg Childs of Save Kids TV noted that Showcomotion 2008 dovetailed perfectly with the British 10k.
Running is inherently a selfish pursuit, but the British 10k offers me the opportunity to do good by doing well. One of the official race charities is the MS Trust, a cause close to Greg's heart. I am very pleased to repay just a small fraction of what Greg has given to me, and to UK and global kids media, by running the 10k for the Trust.
I hope you'll dig deep and sponsor me online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: MS Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Now, all I have to do is decide whether to race the 10k (and try to beat my current PR of just over 42:00), or take it slow and take in one of my favorite cities!
Many thanks for your support.
